Monarch Messenger

Schools and school districts across the country have been facing challenges associated with declining enrollment. BVSD has not been immune from this trend and can point to the same contributing factors (falling birth rates, the COVID-19 pandemic, affordable housing, and a rise in alternative education options like homeschooling and private schools).

BVSD is organizing community engagement events focused on the challenges associated with declining enrollment. At these meetings, BVSD will discuss the impact on our classrooms, take questions, and share your priorities and values. Your input will help inform the decisions the Board of Education will make this fall. If you would like to attend there is a meeting that will be hosted at Monarch High School and is open to any community member who would like to attend. They are asking that you fill out an RSVP form so they can plan space needs (click here to RSVP).

It was great to see so many of you at our Junior Journey night presentation. We wanted to share our presentation slides with you. It is also posted on our counseling website, mohicounseling.com. The presentation outlines important information to know as a Junior going into your last year of high school.

We also want to encourage 11th grade students to sign up for a junior meeting with their counselor. Counselors will go over everything you need to know to get out of high school and reach your post-secondary goals. Parents are welcome to join as well. You can sign up by clicking on your counselor's name on the mohicounseling.com homepage and choosing a block of time.

If you have further questions please reach out to your counselor.
